REST DAY

Over the past few months I have been thinking about what I would like to achieve in 2010. I don't really like to say things like 'I'm going to do this for the year' I prefer to set a goal, achieve it then either reevaluate it or set a new goal. Having said that there are a few things I specifically want to focus on for the time being.

My main exercise related goal is to run the Boston half marathon in October. Its safe to say that as of now I have never run more than 8kms at any one time so this will be very challenging for me. I want to complete it in less than 1 hr 50 min, simply because that was my wife's time and I have to beat her! haha :-). I plan start following the WOD's from crossfitendurance.com around the beginning of the summer to prepare me for it but until then I will just do the odd run + row when they pop up in my WODs.

My crossfit specific goal if you like is to complete Fran in under 5mins. Considering my current time is  6:52 I think that this is more than achievable. Simply by improving my kipping technique I should be able to take a minute off the time easily. I'm not sure how many times I am going to test myself but I would like to think maybe every 2 months but we'll see.

My third goal will also help me with my fran time which is to be able to do 20 kipping pullups in succession. I can currently do 10 before I lose my swing so this will just be a matter or practice.

2009 was a very good year for me. I had a lot of big changes in my life and I am expecting a lot more to come in 2010!
I'm looking forward to tomorrow to begin the year with a bang.
